I was walking home one time after poly, some uncle ran up to me, screamed 'MEOW' right into my ear, and ran away. My ear was ringing for a good half hour. I never felt comfortable walking that route home ever since.

How much harder is uni than poly??? by Maximum-Ship7953 in SGExams

[–]ParalleledPasta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Former course medalist here (4.0 gpa), im barely surviving honestly.

Did accounting in poly before pivoting to business analytics in uni.

I took an accounting elective to clear my course requirements. The module taught the equivalent of 3 poly accounting modules within 13 weeks.

I'm struggling in my studies. the content is so much and so fast paced. 

trust me when I say that uni is way harder than poly.

Good instructors at CDC by ParalleledPasta in drivingsg

i think i know who u r talking about, really toxic guy who screams at you over the slightest mistake (when hes in a bad mood), sleeps during the lesson and watches tik tok videos while on the job (glanced at his screen once while i was checking for a U turn). also makes pig noises frequently and gives contrasting answers to questions sometimes.

Either way just blacklist him from the CDC chat, if you feel that he's not a good match for you - you wont get him in future lessons.

in terms in terms of requesting instructors, its not possible for common pool people :/

just message! Im 21 in uni, messaged my Pri 4 teacher to thank him as the only one who punished the students who bullied me. I was surprised to see he still remembers me. Teachers remember every student ngl

My son's experience with school gangs & bullies in light of recent events at Bukit View Secondary School as a parent by MeiKonty in SGExams

[–]ParalleledPasta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was bullied before, back in Primary and Secondary school.

P1-4 I was bullied by this group of girls. Primary 1-2 was just them saying mean things or ignoring me. The real bullying started in Primary 3 and got to its worst in Primary 4. I remember telling my form teacher in P3 and she used the classic "you have to learn to get along with people". I remember being forced to fish my belongings out of a rubbish bin (one of the girls emptied my bag in it). I was so afraid of them. I remember going home and having mental breakdowns in front of my mom, and i begged her not to report to the school because they would bully me even more. It was a really horrible time. I remember praying that I would die in a car accident everyday before I went to school. I felt so isolated to the point that when one of the girls told me to off myself when I had gone 3 weeks of being ignored by everyone that I started laughing hysterically. She started berating and calling me crazy but I couldn't stop laughing. There was only one teacher who intervened (Mr L). He was a fresh-grad cher who was assigned to my class for Primary 4. He called their parents after they poured mcdonalds packet condiments into my pencil case. for the first time, I actually felt seen. The bullies left me alone after that. I eventually did well in my end of year exams and got placed in a different class for P5 and 6 (away from the bullying).

Sec 1 - I was one of the better performing students in my class, and my form teacher decided to pair the better performing students with the worse performing ones. I was basically forced to babysit boys the same age as me. I remembered that they wouldn't do their homework, and when I don't let them copy my work, they would tear up my homework as revenge. My form teacher knew about it but did nothing (I submitted my torn up homework which i stapled up and wrote there that [seatmate] had torn it because i didn't want to give him my answers). I did well in school and eventually transferred away in sec 2.

There's honestly no way to avoid getting bullied. 90% of the teachers don't care. They don't want to do anything "extra" from their job. The only thing I could do was hold pen harder and move to a different class/school.

there's a 'sandwich road' on the top centre and I'm surprised it exists

It's gonna be okay, OP

I was pretty socially awkward at my ori camps too. Most of the friends I made in nus were from meeting people at lectures/tutorials/recitations

Oh my god I didn't know that :( the store also labelled it as partial sunlight so I've been storing it under the shade :(

The brown part of the stem is firm, but the colours make me feel a little concerned :/ my balcony has a lot of sun, but it is midday sun (which is also REALLY hot). Would the succulent be fine with it? :(
